Order of Peak1 vs. Peak2 after --samples #47

Thanks for this great tool.

We are finding that the value of IDR changes based on the order of peak1 and peak2 in the --samples argument. For example, "--samples peak1 peak2" may give an IDR of 3.538 while "--samples peak2 peak1" gives an IDR of 3.544. Is this expected behavior, and may I ask why it occurs?

Many thanks.

I just posted discrepancies that I found in the output. Your issue is also concerning. I would thought they should be give the same IDR regardless of the order. Have you find any answer since?
